What's the ideal rep range for maximizing muscle hypertrophy?While 8-12 reps is often cited, research suggests a broader range can be effective for growth, provided you're training near failure:
- 4-6 reps for strength and some hypertrophy
- 8-12 reps for classic hypertrophy
- 15-20+ reps for metabolic stress and endurance hypertrophy
"Variety in rep ranges stimulates all muscle fibers."
